Publisher's Summary
So you think you're a Buddhist? Think again. Tibetan Buddhist master Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse, one of the most creative and innovative lamas teaching today, throws down the gauntlet to the Buddhist world, challenging common misconceptions, stereotypes, and fantasies. With wit and irony, Khysentse urges listeners to move beyond the superficial trappings of Buddhism - beyond the romance with beads, incense, or exotic robes - straight to the heart of what the Buddha taught.

Perspective, changing it changes you and sets you free from the trappings of your suffering.
I enjoyed all of it. You will come to understand the power of the one drop that touches the ocean, and the ocean that contains the infinite drops.

Best Intro to Buddhism
This is a fantastic introduction that clearly explains what Buddhism is and isn't. It's refreshing to have this so clearly explained and is a book worth returning to again and again.

This was absolutely fascinating to listen to.
This was absolutely fascinating to listen to. So many truths discussed by the author of how modern day humans think and live. The author very beautifully wove it in with the Buddhist philosophy and mindset as someone who is on a spiritual path in today's world. I will definitely be listening to this book a few times more.

Great to read once, and many times more!
Great book explaining the core Buddhist teachings in a way that is easy to understand, practical and at times humorous. The writing style and examples make it a thoroughly enjoyable read and very relatable. I would recommend anyone interested in Buddhism to read it and for those interested to practice and reflect on these profound teachings to read it again, and again.
